Numero uno

Linus is celebrating the all-important first birthday this month, so we got together Saturday morning for a photo session to commemorate the occasion!  I work with Linus’s mom, and she and her husband are my heroes: they have just moved into a new house, but managed to clear enough space for us to do the shoot at their new home!  How they managed, I’ll never know.  But I was really glad they did, because the light was gorgeous–and so was Linus!  I’m such a sucker for those big brown eyes . . . Take a look!

Whitney + Jeff, engaged!

Last night was an exciting night in my family–my sister-in-law got engaged!  Jeff proposed in private and then brought Whitney back to her parents’ house for a surprise party that everyone was in on–except Whitney!  Aren’t they the cutest?!

And Whitney’s mom and sister totally outdid themselves on this party–seriously!

Jeff texted us after the proposal to let us know that all went as planned…

And here Whitney is, mid-surprise–she walked into the backyard and there were about thirty-five people waiting for her!

And of course, the ring!

And here’s a quick little slideshow to memorialize the evening.  You can see it on black here.  Congratulations, Whitney and Jeff!  I can’t wait for the wedding planning to begin!!!

By the way, if you’re confused, thinking Whitney looks an awful lot like the girl from the bridal session in the previous post, you’re right! Whitney is her twin!

Deep Ellum, part 2

More from the bridal session in Deep Ellum.  Brides, I hope these encourage you to think outside the box when choosing a location for your portraits!

Eight days new

We had Hayden’s official newborn session yesterday–he’s eight days old already!  And I agree whole-heartedly with his momma that he is getting cuter every single day!

Deep Ellum, part 1

Here, as promised, is part one of the insanely cool bridal session I shot in Deep Ellum this past week.  It was incredibly hot out, but we had a great time–in part because not one, but two people invited us into their art galleries to take photos and cool down!
